In this episode, the crew explores public HBCUs' battle with the state for self-governance. In a follow up to the “HBCUs vs. The State Government” episode, Randall outlines instances in which the state governments have tried to merge and take control of Public HBCUs. Randall also details Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s moves to take control of public colleges & universities in Florida and if he will target FAMU next.

Randall is joined by HBCU Pulse Political Correspondent and Tennessee State University alumna Tiara Thomas to recap Tennessee State’s fight to maintain self-governance in response to Tennessee’s State Comptroller’s Office report alleging fiscal mismanagement during TSU’s Fall housing crisis.
